President Donald Trump signed executive orders on Monday to end cashless bail policies across the country, threatening to cut federal funding to cities and states that have these programs. The orders target Washington, D.C., and other places that let people await trial without paying money up front.
Trump plans to have Attorney General Pam Bondi make a list of places with cashless bail policies within 30 days. Those places could lose federal grants and contracts. The president called cashless bail a “disaster” and blamed it for crime problems.
